To: neverdem

btw: if I read this correctly, the shooter had to have had good aim - he shot the guy without shooting the other cop tackling him. am i the only one who thinks this stopry doesn’t add up?

Actually something similar happened many years ago in Prov, RI. An off duty officer was in a diner in a not so good part of town. Some thugs came in and started fighting with each other. Owner calls police. Unfortunately the off duty policeman, dressed in a hoodie, drew his gun to try to break up the fight. Police enter , yell to him to drop his gun. He never identified himself and didn't drop his gun. The police shot and killed him. There was not only a criminal trial but a civil trial and the officer responsible for the shooting was cleared both times.
